@ministryoftesting.com - Just planning out my days for Thu and Fri, but I can’t see on the website how long different sessions are. For workshops are they all the same length (and how long, please?) 🙏🏻

Ugh, brain! Go to sleep!
“Give her her phone” is valid English.
“Give him his phone” is valid English.
Why?
Why not “give him him phone”?
Or “give her hers phone”?
Why, English, why?

Whoever coined the terms "null and void" and "cease and desist" was redundant and repetitive but also ridiculous and absurd

It's very rare for an unchecked snarky comment to leave my lips, and unheard of for me in a professional setting. This week, though, it did and its taken me *days* to get back out of the funk it put me in.
“To err is human” - A reminder for me, and anyone else who needs it. 🙏🏻

And at an additional level, I prefer proactive and “verbose enough” sharing over piecemeal snippets of info.
As a manager of testers I can say with confidence myself and my peers prioritise sharers over hoarders, every time. It's the sharer we would choose to retain.

Hey guys? And I mean *SPECIFICALLY* guys.
It's 2023.
Assuming that the tech person you're dealing with is a guy isn't something we do anymore. Hasn't been for a loooooong time.
So hearing "Oh, I didn't realise you were a she" isn't confidence-inspiring. 🤦♀️

Digging through old ramblings and discovered the Communities of Practice model I defined for Zoopla. Sharing in case it's useful and more than happy to accept feedback. Might make it a blog post. 🤔

iPhone 15 models are going to be disappointing and too expensive for what you get. I believe this because rather than there being hype around the model, most places are talking about iPhone 16 (2024) and even iPhone 17 (2025) already. 🤷🏼♂️

A few great shots today and only 4 from 40 missed completely. The red feather means these were the first attempt at the target.
Not bad for only a couple of months into the sport (random sized targets, positioning, distances, and trees bushes to throw you off) #FieldArchery

When your non-athletic child goes to sports day and makes it their mission to cheer *everyone* because they're turning into an amazing and supportive human, and the school then award them a 🥇 for being "most supportive" in front of the whole school. #ProudDad
